Hi everybody,
I jsut finished the practice problems of the reading 28 non current liabilities.
I was quite confused by the answer of the question 21: “An operating lease is not recorded on the balance sheet (debt is lower), and lease payments are entirely categorised as rent (interest expense is lower.)”
I thought that under US GAAP and IFRS, all lease were now recorded in your liabilities (fact confirmed in the reading and in the exhibit 2). If I am wrong, could someone explain me?
Thanks a lot!
 
Hi S2000magician,
first of all, thanks for helping!
it is in the 2020 curriculum, that’s why I find it disturbing.
In the same practice problems list, Q.30 “which of the following best describes reporting and disclosure requirements for a company that enters into an operating lease as a lessee?
A - reported as a receivable on the B/S
B- disclosed in notes to the financial statements
C- reported as a component of debt on the B/S
I would expect the answer to be C but according to the solutions, the correct answer is B despite the US GAAP and the IFRS requiring operating lease to appear in B/S.
I am quite confused right now
